Uh, yeah. Thanks for the birthday wishes! (I think...)Incidentally, I know this isn't going to stop you from posting the Solomon Grundy references every year on my birthday, but I was actually born on a Saturday (as were you). I don't think mom wanted to miss work.

Happy Birthday Steanso! The CRV only needs 1.21 gigawatts? That's nothing. I remember the days when the Bronco needed a blood sacrifice of virgin law students to get it working. And believe me, those were hard to find.

I'm telling you, we were set up in '88. Those samples were tainted and mishandled from the beginning. It's a conspiracy that we are still in the process of unraveling. We are petitioning to get our bronze medals back (so we can sell them later on eBay).

NTT is 150% right about what it took to get the Bronco going. Geez, that car.

And, Reed, I look forward to your vindication and return to the sport you both hold dear. I know how much the world wants to see you two twisting and turning off the platform in your matching Speedos. Like two bronzed tornados, you were.
